Categories: Breakfast, Hot Sandwich

Ingredients

• Herb Mayonnaise:
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup minced fresh chives or 1/4 cup basil (or a combination)
• Tabasco sauce
• Sandwiches:
• 4 English muffins
• lettuce leaf (leaf lettuce or butter lettuce)
• 12 slices bacon, thick slices, halved and cooked crisp
• 4 slices red ripe beefsteak tomatoes, thick slices (preferably similar in size to the English muffins)
• salt
• 4 fried eggs (over easy) (optional)

Directions

1. To make the mayonnaise: mix together the mayonnaise, chopped herbs, and Tabasco sauce to taste; set aside.

2. Split each English muffin into 2 halves; toast the muffins until golden brown.

3. Spread each half with a liberal tablespoon of the mayonnaise.

4. Arrange the lettuce on top of the mayonnaise on the 4 muffin bottoms, adding enough to show off a green fringe for each sandwich.

5. Pile on equal portions of bacon and tomato for each sandwich, salting the tomatoes lightly.

6. Top with fried eggs, if desired, and crown with the remaining muffin slices.
